Kosa
The Kosa retirees fished last week for the first time in about two weeks. They fished on Lake Wylie. Tony Black and Ned Blanton come out of hibernation and this time they picked up the win with 10.15. Ronnie Humphries grabbed second with 8.90, he also had the big bass of the day with a 2.90 largemouth. David O’Shields and Mack Wyatt settled in third with 7.50. This week the retirees head back to Lake Norman.

I get in sort of a flux this time of year. I don’t know whether to fish, scout, shoot my bow, or stop it all until I get the yard and the house as momma would have it. But if I stop it all I really become an irritable guy. Maybe I could just call these trips therapy and get by with an occasional excursion. It is impossible to do it all.
